Grilled Cheese Bacon Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Morning Essentials
01 -
4 big, fresh eggs
02 -
6 slices of crispy-crunchy bacon
03 -
2 tablespoons of milk to make super fluffy eggs
→ Bread and Cheesy Base
04 -
8 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (or about 1 1/2 cups grated)
05 -
4 rustic, thick sourdough slices
06 -
4 tablespoons softened butter, easy to spread
→ Flavor Boosters
07 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the bacon in a pan until it's nice and crunchy. Move them to paper towels so they stay crispy while losing extra oil.
02 -
Mix together the eggs, milk, and pepper until smooth. Cook the mix in the bacon fat on low heat, stirring gently for soft, fluffy eggs.
03 -
Take two bread slices and place cheese on each. Stack crispy bacon on top of one slice, add the fluffy eggs, then put another cheesy bread slice on top.
04 -
Spread butter on the outside of the sandwiches. Warm a skillet over medium heat, getting set for the perfect toasty finish.
05 -
Put the buttered sandwiches in the hot skillet, buttered sides down. Press lightly with a spatula and let them toast for 3-4 minutes. Spread butter on the top side, flip, and toast another 3-4 minutes until golden.
06 -
Give the sandwiches a minute to rest, then slice them into triangles. Serve warm, and why not try dipping in some spicy mayo or maple syrup?
# Notes:
01 -
Thick-cut sourdough gives a sturdy crunch and holds everything well.
02 -
If the bread browns too fast, turn the heat down so the cheese has time to melt.
03 -
Try hearty bread alternatives—rye, ciabatta, or whole grain all taste great.
